Sea-based infrared search and track (IRST) is important for homeland security by detecting missiles and asymmetric boats. This paper proposes a novel scheme to interpret various infrared scenes by classifying the infrared background types and detecting the coastal regions in omni-directional images. The background type or region-selective small infrared target detector should be deployed to max...

In this talk we will discuss the physics reach of the atmospheric neutrino data collected by a future megaton-class neutrino detector. First we will discuss the potentialities of atmospheric neutrinos on general basis, presenting our results in the form of neutrino oscillograms of the Earth: contour plots in the neutrino energy–nadir angle plane. In this context we will analyze in detail the va...

Alborz observatory is an EAS array in the heights of Alborez mountain chain near Tehran. For the development of the array, more number of detectors is inevitable. The managing the financial resources and achieving the highest efficiency of the array is important for the project. Therefore, Water Cherenkov Detectors has been used for 9 months in the same way as the previous experiment with Scint...

In this paper, we describe a technique using crystal spectrometer, silicon-diode detector, and filtered photoconductive detector to monitor photon energies in the L-shell (0.9–1 keV) K-shell regimes for nickel copper hybrid X-pinch x-ray sources. The detectors, system cabling, an 8 GHz digital oscilloscope combination enable time resolution better than 200 ps detectors 700 of K- radiation signa...

We continue our study of document marking t o deter illicit dissemination. A n experiment we performed reveals that the distortion on the photocopy of a document is very different in the vertical and horizontal directions. This leads to the strategy that marks a text line both vertically using line shifting and horizontally using word shifting. A line that is marked is always accompanied by two...

in this work the performance of a wavelength division multiple access (wdma) system with direct detection receiver is investigated. for this purpose, the probability of error in a wdma network with ook modulation considering crosstalk, isi, photo detector noise and thermal noise is calculated and the effect of each on system performance is investigated. the system performance in presence of pin...

Aims. Lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) are an attractive technology for millimeter-wave observations that require large arrays of extremely low-noise detectors. We designed, fabricated and characterized 64-element (128 LEKID) arrays of horn-coupled, dual-polarization LEKIDs optimized for ground-based CMB polarimetry. Our devices are sensitive to two orthogonal polarizations ...

background: estimating dosimetric parameters for small fields under non-reference conditions leads to significant errors if done based on conventional protocols used for large fields in reference conditions. hence, further correction factors have been introduced to take into account the influence of spectral quality changes when various detectors are used in non-reference conditions at differen...

We continue our study of document marking to deter illicit dissemination. An experiment we performed reveals that the distortion on the photocopy of a document is very diierent in the vertical and horizontal directions. This leads to the strategy that marks a text line both vertically using line shifting and horizontally using word shifting. A line that is marked is always accompanied by two un...

The solid state active detectors, widely used for conventional radiotherapy, such as diamond detectors (DD) and diodes may be attractive tools also in dosimetry of therapeutic proton beams. Diodes are broadly applied in oncology clinics and routinely used for in-vivo dosimetry [1, 8]. These real-time detectors are rugged, relatively inexpensive and provide on-line readings, what allows for quic...
